Absolute rubbish. [...] MS is a tiny drop in a rather large puddle.

I keep hearing all this. But since the 80's, most of the computers
I've been able to buy have come with a MS operating system. Most of
the rest have been Macs.

How many mainframe systems have you bought, personally, in the last
twenty years? How many minicomputer systems? And of course most of
the computers that you /have/ bought in the last twenty years aren't
MS platforms.

They don't seem to stock mainframes at PC World or Dixons.

By computers I mean what you normally expect: a box with a screen
and keyboard.

If you can arbitrarily restrict the meaning of the word "computer" as
much as you like, it's easy enough to come to almost any conclusion
about them that you wish.

It's fairly obvious when something is a computer, ie. a desktop or laptop PC. Everything else is more specialised. There might be some consumer gadgets that are getting close though.
